Hello, this maybe a silly question, and sorry for my english.
I have a PQR for double process GTAW & SMAW (refer picture) with 10.97MM base metal. Can i produce WPS for GTAW process with 1.5mm-6mm base metal qualification base on my GTAW/SMAW PQR?
Karabau,
Do not confuse base metal qualified with weld deposit qualified
As per Table 451.1 your base metal qualified is 5 mm - 21.94 mm
Maximum GTAW deposit is 6 mm.
Unless I have misinterpreted that 10.97 mm is greater than 10 mm (Interpretation ?)
Your construction code (which you haven't specified, such as B31.3 or VIII-1) may set additional, more stringent requirements on top of ASME IX. Take those into consideration as well.
